I like it Della!!!!

Glen-- Eye say your daylilies are gorgeous. Hope your tongue survives the tea! Sounds like a person or two may cause you to bite it. I wish I could make it to the tea, good food and beautiful blooms! I would compliment your hard work, it is well deserved.

Della-- What a beautiful flower! That is a job well done!

Bron-- Hope things smooth out for you. Your daylilies are so nice and vibrant! It is so nice to see all the coloring on Secret Garden!
Unless the eyes are really dark purple, most of mine just look like pastel self's.

Many blessings for joy in your life and successful gardens!

I agree with Sharon!
Glen, I'll bet your eye is more critical than any visitor!

Glen be sure to post lots of pics of your tea! We should all drink a cup of tea tomorrow in honor of your daylily morning tea

Della. Your seedling is very distinctive. Looks like it would go beautifully with other garden plants. Or just a clump with the pink and white, fabulous.

Glen. I sure hope u had some rain. We had a very heavy shower which topped up my rain tank but whacked some blooms.
This pot of T9 was knocked over so lucky the bloom was OK. Maybe it is PRICKLED PETALS or CREATIVE EDGE. But it is striking, almost glows. Has an overtone of gold/apricot which the camera doesn't capture.
VINTAGE BORDEAUX was black in the morning. Rain must have washed dust down from trees.

HELENA SEABIRD opening a but better today.
COLLIER down in the reed grass has done well, flowering every day.
BRIDAL PATH was pumelled by the rain. It has bad rust so must remove more leaves.
MAKING WHOOPEE is damaged either by critters or my attempts to thwart them.
Nearby either wind or rain or wallabies have messed with this which may be Dixieland Band X Jan's Twister. It is big, and striking. I had to stand in a rose to get a picture. There is tall bracken fern around it.

TROPICAL HEATWAVE had several blooms. Love it.
HOT WIRE got a bit washed off. Bloom is much bigger than earlier ones.
MALENY EYECATCHER above dble white bacopa.
Gardenia bush is covered in bloom and perfuming the whole garden.
LINDEN BELLE didn't open properly but had the largest flower I have seen on it.
Petey the Sweetie happy to be back from the vets and in his garden. He had bad asthma attacks and much lethargy. even stopped going outside, which for him was extraordinary. Blood and urine tests all A1, so relieved.
HEARTS OF FIRE. Even Australian native plants had died there as it is so dry. But the 'boos and the cassias seem to have helped it along. The dead log is a wattle tree trunk that fell down and is still too heavy to shift. Last year a young koala ran up it after it reached the fence and heard the neighbour's barking dog. After they all came and looked they took the dog away.

Today I planted out a chungi bamboo which is a relief. Lucky the roots aren't deep as after a foot deep the shale was too jarring. I am going to put fill around it

Love the smell of gardenias! Wish I could smell them!

Maleny Eyecatcher is nice

Lovely blooms Bron. Love the green throat on Making Whoopee

Bron, with Ginny. Lovely !

Bron--Glad Petey the Sweetie tests were OK! He looks luxurious! Does he like to be held or is he the independent type? May many blessings come your way!

not lots out today. Lasat night there was low cloud and lots of condensation everywhere. But today windy and sunny.

SECRET GARDEN or
LITTLE LIZA JANE which is pretty small
ICE CASTLES
COLLIER
CLOCKWORK
SPACECOAST RUFFLES
KANSAS KITTEN a bit better today

Gorgeous Bron!

I am so envious of people living in Australia right now, lol!! Those blooms just look so amazing

Hope Glen's daylily tea is going well. Drinking tea today in honor since we can't be there

Just finished cleaning up. Twenty-five people came to the morning tea. Food everywhere. Excellent. I will download the photos as soon as I have had a stiff drink and a sit down.

The morning was wonderful.

Well, 25 people came. It was good fun. But people like the selfs the most as usual. Orange, yellow, red and pink are the kings and queens. Sigh.

But everyone's enjoyment was tangible and I was completely chuffed to see them love the colors and the masses of blooms. My daylily garden is a little unusually, too, because I grow herbs, vegetables and fruit amongst the daylilies where edibles don't intrude on them.


This is part the front yard.
The people were to the left.
And here they are!


"The hills are aliiiiive to the sound of daylilies!"












P.S. The daylily singing today was a first flowering ever for another seedling of CRAZY MISS DAISY x WAVES OF JOY (2014226).

Glen - Looks like you had a great time!!!

Do you sell or share Daylily fans to any of these folks? Or do they only come to see your beautiful gardens? I love the nice raised beds and all the other edible plants growing in with Daylily collection. Really lovely, Glen.

Becky, I bring them to the garden purely for the aesthetics. I do give away plants or let the library sell them for fund raising at other times.

That large raised bed on the left has 80 of my crosses flowering. I am going to have to do something with the ones that aren't good enough to go forward with. I am dreading it. I read somewhere on NGA where someone said they will never raise their hybrids in raised beds again. They said that when the time came the fans were extremely difficult and inconvenient to dig out.

So impressed by your tea and the drinkers-in of all that beauty!
